Judge to David J. Stern: Deadlines are deadlinesby Christine Stapleton
Twenty-days goes by fast when you are under investigation, your law practice is dwindling and you must respond to a proposed class-action lawsuit filed by your former employees. But a federal judge was not sympathetic to a request by the attorney for David. J. Stern who wanted more time to respond to the former employees' lawsuit.
Stern was given 20 days to respond to a lawsuit filed by former employees on Dec. 2. The workers accused their former boss of violating the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act by failing to give them 60-days notice of mass layoffs that began in September. But on December 16 – six days before the Dec. 22 deadline – Jeffrey Tew, Stern's attorney, filed court papers asking the judge to extend the deadline to January 24, 2011.
Tew said his firm had only recently been hired by Stern and that "due to other work obligations and the approaching holidays" Tew needed more time to "analyze" the lawsuit and prepare a response. Attorneys for the employees did not object. However, U.S. Disrict Judge Ursula Ungaro refused to extend the deadline and ordered Tew to file a response by Dec. 22.
Stern's Plantation-based lawfirm was the largest foreclosure firm in Florida, filing paperwork for lenders in tens of thousands for foreclosure cases. The Florida Attorney General's office is investigating claims that notarized documents were regularly forged and excessive fees charged to homeowners about to lose their homes.

I don't know what they call it in other towns when the blame comes down, but in Chicago, we have a word for it.
It's called the jacket, as in, "He'll wear the jacket for this." Others call it "the hat," as in, "He'll wear the hat for it."
But most call it the jacket.
By now, you've probably heard that charges were filed Tuesday in the case of those 13 people who were shot in Cornell Square Park in the Back of the Yards neighborhood last week.
Included among the victims was a 3-year-old boy, Deonta Howard, shot in the face by feral thugs.
While no one died, the numbers generated painful national publicity for Mayor Rahm Emanuel and police Superintendent Garry McCarthy.
And now, a jacket has been tailored.
I'm not sure it's entirely deserved, but there is a new jacket out now, and it fits Cook County Judge James Linn almost perfectly.
If you were born here, you've seen the rich pageantry of heater cases your entire life. There is a prescribed liturgy.
The news breaks, the heartbroken families of the victims share their grief at the hospital, the mayor rages and the police superintendent fumes.
The cops go out, detectives lean on their snitches and appeals are made to "the community" to identify the triggermen.
Then come the arrests, and rhetoric about the why of things, and finally, out comes that strange piece of Chicago political clothing.
The jacket.
They come in many shapes and sizes, but when you're fitted for one, there is little hope of removing it.
In announcing the arrests of the shooters Tuesday, McCarthy, desperate for good news to share, talked of the alleged shooters: career criminals Bryon Champ, 21, and Tabari Young, 22.
In July 2012, Champ was convicted of the charge of unlawful use of a weapon, but he wasn't sent to prison.
Instead, he got a wrist slap and was sent to the sheriff's boot camp, the idea being to make him a better citizen.
You've seen those soft news features on such boot camps: young men doing push-ups, sweating, standing at attention, being hectored by sheriff's deputies acting as their drill sergeants.
The boot camp appeals to the law-abiding, those folks who often live many psychic galaxies from places like Back of the Yards. The idea of thugs being yelled at by stern disciplinarians in uniform is almost as appealing to taxpayers as the fact that boot camps cost them considerably less than sending a thug to prison for years.
Boot camps appeal to the thugs, too, particularly those with felonies and long rap sheets. Why? Because boot camps are about getting out early, and when you get out early, you can get back on the street to do what you do.

Idiopathic or "Old Dog" Vestibular Disease
Please note comments are moderated. After being approved your comment will appear below.
Submitted by Bonnie | November 12 2012 | Permalink
Our 17 1/2 year old collie golden mix has had three vestibular episodes, and has had some 'leftover' symptoms after each episode. He is generally healthy otherwise, but still walks like a drunken sailor at times when he gets tired. My vet prescribed Meclizine (otherwise known as Bonine for seasickness) and it helped a LOT! He also took steroids and antibiotics for a couple days immediately following the last episode, and those seemed to help as well. When he has his first episode a couple years ago, it scared us so much thinking that he had a stroke, but now we know how to deal with them and they are not so scary. Hopefully folks will learn more about this disease and not react with euthanasia thinking that their dog has had a heart attack or stroke instantly.

Our 17 1/2 year old collie-golden mix has had 3 vestibular episodes and after each one, has had some leftover symptoms, but after his first one 2 years ago, he is still pretty healthy and only occasionally 'walks like a drunken sailor' when he gets really tired. Following his last episode, my vet prescribed Meclizine (otherwise known as Bonine for seasickness) along with a short stint of antibiotics and steroids, which all seemed to help immensely. We were so scared when he had his first episode thinking that it was a stroke, and that we would have to have him euthanized. Thank God our vet saw what it really was.

My dog too! 13 years old, some kind of mutt mix. I took her for a walk. She was having a slow day, but nothing too unusual. She ate her breakfast around 9:30, and then went back outside to lie in the sun. When she came back inside around 10, she was stumbling all over the place. This scared me, so I took her right away to the nearest animal hospital. We wound up treating her for poisoning using charcoal, which I regret (This was before I found this article). I'm sure the stress of the charcoal is what made her worse again.
On day 2 she is able to get up and walk around and do her business independently and she eats! She is still VERY wobbly, tilting to her right side, but I think we have reason to believe she'll improve. We'll be trying the meclazine treatment too.
Thank you for this article and for all the informative comments!

My almost 14 year old Samoyed/Sheltie mix started staggering yesterday evening and vomitted all night. This morning she couldn't take a step without falling. I was at the vet when they opened at 7:30. I'm not a "run to the vet" for every small thing kind of person but this really scared me. I thought she had suffered a stroke and thought for sure that I was taking that dreaded trip to have her put down. I even prepared my 3 grown kids via text messages for this outcome. Well...I have to say...I totally LOVE my vet office. They knew right away what was going on and explained it all to me. Put her on antibiotics in case there was any inner ear infection and steroids. I had never heard of this before and am so thankful that my vet recognized it right off and didn't require lots of tests first. She's old and I won't put her through lots of tests...she's been the best dog ever and deserves to move on when she can no longer have a quality of life. But after researching the disease and how great the recovery usually is I am so happy for the extra time we will have with her.

our 12 year old german shepherd was diagnosed 2 days ago with vestibular syndrome...while she is lookignbetter, no more twitching or nystagmus..her head is still tilted. She can get up better on her fromt legs and move her back legs in place but cannot stand on them. My concern is I was expecting and prepared for incontinence but after 48 hrs she still has not urinated or moved her bowels..please advise. I must add that she has had a difficult personality all her life..cannot get near her to examine her without sedation..I cannot even try to check her bladder for distention without her snapping..any ideas?

My 6 yr old Brittany had signs of VS...Sudden onset. Pred/antibiotics helped 90% fast but took away pup's personality. 1 wk after Rx, acute relapse. It was terrible. Vet/I believe it was polyneuropathy effects. All other tests came back normal...He was healthy!
My fur child Seth was put down -- yesterday. Having a tough time coming to terms. It was dramatic...so quick. One minute he was almost OK and then BAM! He barely could walk, eyes glazed, shut them...it was worse than a seizure. Devastated.

Hi there,
My 7 year old German Shepherd/Queensland Heeler mix is currently having these symptoms. On 11/12/12 we noticed he started sneezing which lasted for several days. Finally on 11/15/12, I took him to the vet as half his face was paralyzed. He was given antibiotics. Later on 11/21/12, we awoke to him having ataxia and unbalanced walk, took him in to the vet and they prescribed predisone. After 24 hours, he was completely cured of ataxia and unbalanced walk. It's been about 2 weeks and his right eye still doesn't blink, right ear droops, and right side of mouth droops. Last night I was playing ball with him and I noticed his right eyebrow starting to move slightly. We've discussed an MRI, but the cost is $2800. He is no pain, responds the same and seems happy as ever. I am in the process of switching his food to Blue Buffalo Basics Salmon dry and wet. I'm wondering if this is idiopathic or inflammation? He goes for a check-up tomorrow night. My fear is that once we begin to taper him off the steroid, the ataxia and unbalanced walk will return. Also I did have our grass overseeded by professionals on 11/7/12 and they used a starter fertilizer and herbicide. The dog has seasonal allergies (not tested) and may have walked on the grass while still wet and licked the paws.
Thanks for any information you can give me!

My heart goes out to everyone who sees their beloved pet going through these episodes. Many thanks to the Dr. for writing this article.
My G Shepherd/Lab or Husky mix was 13 when she had her first vestibular disease episode. She recovered over about 2 weeks with no lingering signs but the head tilt. When I researched the diagnosis online, I was scared she would only last 6-9 more months. Happily, we were able to share 2 more high quality years together before organ failure set in at 15 years. She did have additional episodes over that period when encountering situations of high stress, but they lasted only half a day at most, and she always showed significant improvement within days.
I hope this helps someone see past the episodes in front of them to the better days ahead.

Thank you for your post. Our 11yr old Lab experienced his first episode about 6 weeks ago and recovered in about 5 days. He is now having another episode. I was thankful to hear that this can happen again, since all the research I've been doing hasn't said anything about recurring episodes. We are hoping that this is the peripheral vestibular type, but I'm a little concerned that it might be something more serious since they have happened so close together. Going for a second opinion on Monday.

Thank you, Dr Cox, for the informative article. My 14yo Mini Doxie suffered a possible stroke (or ivd) ~ Oct 2, 2012. Our vet was great and allowed me to give her days of sub q fluids and antibiotics injections at home- (she had an enlarged kidney). Lots of care and she is almost back to her normal self, Thank God. But her tail still doesn't wag. I thought she was just feeling bad or depressed, but sometimes, now, she seems very happy and her tail just hangs. I can move it, and she shows no sign of it being painful. I'm grateful for all she has regained. Is there anything I can do to help her tail improve. I hate that it took me so long to realize and fear it has been too long. Thank you.

Just got home from the vet with my 12 year old Chow/Golden mix. Glad this article was here and the comments as well. I feel better now. If she improves in the next 48 hours, we'll know we got the diagnosis right. If not, it's off for an MRI on Monday. She's resting now, and I think I'm more stressed out than she is.

I'm going through this with my 13 year old shepherd mix. We are at 48 hours and he is still in bad shape but its looking like he has an ear infection as the source, high white count and slightly irritated ear on the affected side. I was terrified when this started that this was the end. It's very comforting to know that something that looks so severe can resolve relatively quickly. He just ate for the first time since the night before this started. I had offered everything I thought might tempt him, even brisket, and he had no interest. A friend mentioned that when her elderly dog had this the only thing he would eat was McDonalds. I bought a cheeseburger and broke it into pieces for him. He had a little trouble coordinating the chewing but he got it down. I think its the first McDonalds of his life. They must put something in that food to make it appealing to innocents like dogs and children. Thanks for having this information available. I'm sure it will save many dogs from being euthanized before their time.

This just happened to our terrier mix Boo (14 years old), on 12/12... She started walking around at 4am and my wife woke up to her not being able to walk steadily. We rushed her to the vet and he told us almost word for word the advice in this article. It's day 2 and my wife is home with Boo today and she seems to be walking a little better today, but not much improvement with the head tilt. Her eyes seem to be rolling a little less. We are just praying this gets better. She is eating "steamed" chicken, but we do have to feed it to her. But I'm happy to say my wife reported that Boo did go to her bowl and eat some treats on her own.

Hi Dr. My 12 year old pitbull about 6 days ago had an episode. After reading your article she pretty much had the symptons of the vestibular disease except the vomiting. i took her to the vet and he took xrays of her body and blood tests. All her tests came back fine and the vet has no idea what was wrong with her. He suggested I give her a low fat low protein food? She got better pretty quickly but a week later woke up to the same thing again. Should I take her to the vet again and should I mention this disease to him or should I just wait to see if it gets better? Also the past 2 times that this has happened she woke up like this?

Great post! I think when this happens its so scary and heartbreaking to see and the symptoms seem so severe that euthanasia is often considered. When this happened to my chihuahua in '07, I also discovered that the ER vets and even her own vet were not knowledgeable about the ivd. That surprises me now that ive read so much about it and how its common. Well when we went through it I thought she was dying and $800 of testing and 24 hours later we're leaving the ER vet....who never once mentioned ivd but tested for all kinds of stuff which was all "inconclusive" no closer to an answer and no improvement..a very expensive night!

Thank you so much for your post! We have a diabetic dog that issuffering from (what we think is ) IVD. However, the doctor says it's and chronic "inner ear infection". However, our problem is she is diabetic and isn't eating. She hasn't thrown up (due to using giving her meds for vomiting). Her sugar level is higher than it should be. We are blending up her food and giving it to her with a turkey baster (she is not happy). I just don't understand why she won't eat; or better yet why aren't the vets concerned with her not eating! She must eat in order to give her her insulin! The thought of ... well you know .. is not an option! She seems to want to eat, she licks her treats, but just will not eat it. If things do not change; we will be taking her to specialist before something really bad occurs. Maybe it isn't IVD and it is only a chronic ear infection; if so - why isn't she eating! Day 3 and praying! K&G, Greenville, SC

I can sympathize since we are just going through pretty much the same. Our diabetic dog was diagnosed with vestibular disease two days before Christmas, and while she would eat ANYTHING prior to this event, now would not eat. She is on prescription diet which was keeping her regulated, now her BG just keeps elevating. My concern was the relationship of food to insulin which the ER vets just didn't seem to get or want to help me with. I gave up on the prescription food and gave her anything she would eat. Scrambled eggs, turkey, roast beef and then slowly worked some fiber and carbs back in. She is slowly coming around, still refuses the prescription food, but BG better and mobility improved aside from some rear leg issues. We were also given an antibiotic for suspected inner ear which may have exacerbated the nausea - perhaps that may be the problem - best of luck to you and your dog - AAF

Last night at 6am (Malaysian time, Sat, Dec 29) I was putting my 12-year-old mini pin at the wet kitchen to pee when he suddenly fell. Noticed that he was a little strained on his upper body and his head tilted to the left but he was ok after few secs. I thought nothing of it and put him on the bed to sleep but he vomitted the water he had drank just minutes before.
This evening I had just noticed that his eyes were moving from side to side and his head was still tilting when I carried him. When I put him down, he doesn't have balance to walk.
It is comforting to read your comments. Can u guys give me more advice on this? I am really worried. He is still able to call me ( by barking) when he wants to pee. And I have been feeding him water.He had breakfast + papaya in the afternoon. He doesnt want dinner.
Appreciate comments. Thanks!

This is very helpful, my 12 year old German Shephard was diagnosed with this on Friday (12/28/12). She had the very rapid eye movement, and she can't use her back legs at all. The vet gave her a shot for teh nausia, and some medicene to take home for the nausea. my question is can it hit them so hard, that they cannot walk at all? I have to wrap a towel around her hind end to pick her up to take her outside so that she can go to the bathroom.
I did notice that after the shot, the rapid eye movement stopped, and she is drinking water again, but not eating much, barely ate a Wendy's cheeseburger. He said she should snap out of it in 3-7 days, but it just kills me to see her like this....

Hi Guys, stay with it and support your dog with towels or whatever is practical. My old black Labrador suffered from this almost two years ago and she made a full recovery! It is very upsetting but they just get over it. Only wish people were so brave!
Thank you so much for such an informative article. This will help us sleep at night. Jackie is about 24 hours into recovery after collapsing and a scary car ride to the ER. We thought we were losing her on the way to the ER. This helps me understand what's happening for her as well as a promising recovery. At 13 it's hard not to expect the worst, but we are hopeful now and look forward to her return to her "old self" and glad she will be with us to share in the arrival of our first born.

I second the deep gratitude expressed here for the information given. Our 13 year old lab/border collie had a fairly severe episode last March and has just had another today at the dog park.
She is very active for an old girl,so when she did not only return with the ball,but laid down-well,it was immediately clear something had occurred. After checking her over for any possible muscle pull/strain or god forbid another cruciate damage incident,I realized this was the same distracted behavior we saw last year,along with extreme weakness,difficulty breathing and unsteadiness. Her eyes are not jittering around, but do appear "not normal",like last year. Needless to say,when this dog does not want food or water,or to play-something is afoot.
I got her home and convinced her to drink a bit before letting her collapse in her bed. She is still,3 hours later,unmoving,& completely uninterested in food or water. This is very atypical.
With an old dog, you may be dealing with other life-threatening things. All the information is such a help,because of this and our previous experience,we are taking a wait and see attitude.
I just want to tell others that our dog DID recover almost fully from last year,to her usual happy,active and hungry self. I am hoping for the same this year.

Hello, I have a 7 month old German Shepherd rescue pup who has been diagnosed with Vestibular syndrome, either she was born with it or someone bashed her head in before being left in a cardboard box. I pray she was born with it! Anyway, until about a month ago, her head used to be tilted but moved side to side before she could focus, her eyes are clear but she is partially sighted and she is totally deaf. She walks like she is drunk and when she runs she normally runs in large circles. She is a nightmare when on her lead/harness but is so good when not on the lead. She loves her food, has no problem with swallowing and is never sick. She does drink quite a lot as well. She is very clever, she sits, lays down, sits at heal (at an angle so she can see) and she will shake your hand. We have taught her hand signals. She also uses a dog flap and is now toilet trained (at last!) She is very clumsy and bumps into most things with her back end as it seems to flip out when she is on the move. She has so much energy I call her a "dog on speed" and she is like a bull in a china shop. About a month ago, after a walk she had some sort of "turn", fell to the floor, cried and could not get up, I had to carry her home. The vet gave her a steroid injection the next day and she rested for 5 days. Since then she seems to have a phobia about going for a walk. I take her out locally and all she does is cower on the floor and wont move off our drive - its like she is totally disorintated. However, she will get into the car and walk very well at our local country park. I have noticed that although her head is still tilted, it does not wobble anymore. she also barks at nothing and it is hard to stop her, its like she is just focused on "something and has got to bark at it, or if she has a bone/treat or if we are eating our dinner she will bark to protect it even though our other dogs are not bothered about what she or we have. She will climb up and down stairs but uses the walls/banistairs to guide her up and down and she will jump on the settees and beds (although she will normally fall off the side of the beds!). We have been taking her to obedience classes and she passed her first class with 17.5 out of 20, but since her "turn" a month ago, she has really played up in class, barking at other dogs (although she interacts with many dogs) being a nightmare on the lead and totally disrupting the class etc, to the point she was asked to leave the room! I have read many things on vestibular syndrome and although she has many of the symptons she does not have all - can this happen?

In September 2010 our 14 year old dog came down with Vestibular disease out of the blue. My dog woke up one day and fell then it all started from there. We never gave up on her and gave her time. She would do the alligator roll, refuse to eat, walk, ect. It took her about 3 weeks to recover from it which is longer than average. She never lost her head tilt though. Fast forward to 2013 and she is now 16/17 years old and we think she is having another episode. She has trouble walking and her eyes are moving back and forth

My nine year old german shepherd has had three episodes where her legs get weak and shaky, she sways from side to side, her head hangs, and then she falls over. The first two episodes she also vomitted suddenly. So far this has occurred once per day. The vet looked at her ears and noticed a little redness but nothing sever so inner ear infection was ruled out (although she was sensitive to the scope and yelped). They ran a full blood panel, a urinalysis, did chest x-rays, and also stomach x-rays. Everything came back normal except for crystals in the urine. They gave her fluids, nausea meds and send her home. They said the next option would be to send her to a radiologist for an ultra sound. A little history... Gypsy has a history with pancreatitis (vet said this was likely unrelated). We recently changed her food to a senior low fat formula with vitamins and minerals. My boyfriend thinks the food is to blame so we have switched her diet. She had one more episode this morning (much shorter lived than the others) and is a little bit lethargic. I'm trying to wait it out for a few days before going to see a specialist but I'm so worried. I can't seem to do anything to help her. Any thoughts on whether or not this could be Vestibular disease?

My mini schnauzer is 14. Several nights ago his back end and leg started twitching. He was trying to walk around almost like he was trying to figure out what was wrong. He kept stumbling and falling while he tried to walk to his bed. I got down to try to help him get up on his beanbag he kind of collapsed onto it and then tried to pull his back end on. I gently lifted him up and laid down next to him. His little head was twitching and his eyes were twitching back and forth. He laid down and slept for a couple of hours. He then made a gagging noise and vomited. It was like he didn't realize he did it. He barely moved! We are now 4 days later he eats and drinks fine but still stumbles around when he walks. It almost looks like he's drunk. I did notice yesterday that his eye was twitching. I'm just trying to figure out exactly what is going on. He has really never had any health issues.

Our dog Chance, our Aussie, who will be 14 years old this April 2013 woke this morning displaying these symptoms. We were scared out of our wits, and although I didn't want to tell Bob, I truly thought he had had a mild stroke during the night.

My 15 year old Husky-German Shepherd mix had this on January 8. We took him to the vet who said that he had seen this many times and the dogs often recover (he did call it a stroke though). He treated with cortisone injections and saw him daily for 4 days. Several things got better quite rapidly (the nastigmus was gone the next day, he was walking, although quite wobbly by the 3rd day). He never vomited and at first he ate but only "goodies" (chicken, cheese, dog treats). SInce, however, he has lost all continence and doesn't even seem to know when he is not urinating (gets in the position but nothing comes out unless I gently squeeze his sides). Last weekend he had a bad bought of diarrhea and he is losing clumps of fur, especially from his tail. The vet treated the diarrhea but suggested for the first time that the time had come to consider putting him down. He suggested that the fur loss (clumps with dead skin cells attached) are because the tail section is no longer properly enervated and that he won't get better. His eyes are still bright and he goes on short walks with me in the woods (with enthusiasm). There are, however, less and less things that he will eat. Please help, I don't want him to suffer but his eyes don't look in pain. Has anyone had a dog who recovered that was like mine?

Hi~ I am so sorry to hear what you and your baby are going through; I understand how scary and emotionally difficult this time can be.
It is difficult for me to understand the full scope of what your pet is experiencing, but from the pieces I am reading, I would be concerned with a more serious issue. Generally, IVD tends to get better after 72 hours, but your pet seems to be experiencing continued and progressive signs.
The issues of quality of life as a whole, and when to make the decision to help him pass peacefully, are another important issue and conversation. From what you are describing, I have to say that sadly I feel it is unlikely that your pet will recover, but is the time right now? It sounds as if (despite his disease) that you feel he still has a spark of good quality of life in him: he has bright eyes and enthusiastically enjoys walks, even if they are short. "Suffering" is a complicated word during these times because we are faced with having to determine for ourselves "just what suffering means," which is a huge emotional burden, especially when we are making such decisions for another being we love so much. There are a couple of tools that can help put into perspective an overall quality of life, which can sometimes help make decision-making easier and guide you through the process. I would be happy to pass along these tools to you and offer some assistance, if you would like. You can email me at email@example.com and I can forward you more information. I understand what a difficult time this is and am here if I can help make it a little easier.
Warmly, Shea Cox

hi, Sadly I took the decision to have Toby my nearly 14yr old black lab pts last week. He suffered his first vs attack july 2012 and made a good recovery,his brother Luke also suffered his first attack of vs beginning of january 2013 and again was on the road to recovery, it was during his recovery that Toby had his second vs attack, mid Jan 2013. Initialy he was making a good recovery after a wk, it was agreed to put toby back on Previcox and vivitonin to try and eleviate his joint pains. It was on the following morning that he had some kind of seizure. At this point he was less mobile and lost his appetite. I could no longer see him suffering due to his deteriation and had his pts 31st Jan 2013.Worse time of our lives for all the family.

I have a 13 year old English Springer that is having problems. Over the holidays she seemed to go almost totally deaf. She had been getting hard of hearing since the summer, but suddenly didn't seem to hear anything. About a week later she started with a head tilt, but no other IVD symptoms except a bit unsteady. Took her to the vet & she said her ear was swollen & diagnosed an ear infection. My dog has never previously had an ear infection & there was no drainage or smell. She received a shot of dexamethasone, Dermalone ointment & 10 days of Clavamox. Her head tilt corrected slightly the first few days & some hearing returned, but gradually her head got worse again. Took her to the vet again & she said it vestibular disease & put her on 17 days of oral dexamethasone. Her head seemed to correct slightly. By day 7 she was drinking like crazy, and acting hyper at night (panting barking & pacing) so I called the vet & took her off the steroid. I don't think it is IVD, but what is it? The only symptoms she has is the head tilt which makes her slightly unsteady on her feet. The head tilt is not severe unless she is begging for food or riding in the car. Then she almost turns her head upside down. She eats well and all other ways seems normal. She has some hearing. I will do whatever I can for her, but an MRI or CAT scan is probably out of the question. I have concluded it's either an inner ear infection or a brain tumor. Can a dog have an inner ear infection without smell, discharge or scratching of the ear? Thanks for any incite you can give. I do plan to discuss what else can be done with my vet.
Submitted by Shea Cox DVM | February 6 2013 | Permalink
Hi there~ yes, it is possible to have an inner ear infection without smell or discharge (you can re-refer to the reasoning behind that and the illustration in the article). Since there has been no improvement in this time, I would be concerned with another issue outside of idiopathic VD, which generally resolves for the most part in 72 hours. Without an MR/CT, we are left to guess and continue treatment based on her clinical signs. I understand about the cost of such a test, and it is not usually an option for most because of this. I hope this helps.

Thank you for your help. The vet has told me to watch her, as an MRI would be the next step & IVD takes weeks to get better. Problem is she didn't have all the signs come on at once, so I don't think it's IVD. She started with the deafness & then the head tilt. She now has some hearing. There were no blood tests or anything done to see if something else is going on. The first visit they said her ear was swollen (no external signs) & when the 10 days of antibiotic & Dermalone drops didn't resolve it they said IVD and put her on steroids. I doubt an inner ear infection (no previous known infections), but have read that sometimes it takes 6-8 weeks of an antibiotic to cure an infection. Would I be out of line to request such a treatment & would it make her worse if indeed she has a brain tumor? She still gets around, eats & even runs outside, but she is really unsteady. Twice when she leaned too much she did the rolling over until we grabbed her, but recovered immediately once we steadied her. Mentally she is still the same & she has never had any eye movements. I am mentally prepared to care for her until the point of no return if it is a brain tumor, but can't shake the feeling that she could have a severe infection & will die from lack of care. The only other thing that has gone on in the last 6 months is an operation for a fatty tumor in November, which she came out of with no problem.

On Wednesday, January 29, 2013 I came home after work to find my sweet old girl (Golden Retriever)curled up in the hallway (small hallway) having peed on herself, pooed herself and had vomited a white foam. I brought her out into the living room and placed her on a sheet and placed pee pads underneath her. I did not know what was going on with her. She had the left head tilt, the darting back and forth of the eyes, and could not stand. I searched the Internet for her symptoms and the thing that fit most was a stroke. I decided to watch her for a couple of days. She still had a good appetite and was drinking and voiding as usual (poo was soft, not runny). She was alert and knew when I was around. On Friday, January 31, I decided it was time to put her down. I cried all the way to the vet, and at the vet's office. When he seen her he said the thought almost 100% that it was a severe inner ear infection but now as I read I believe it is Idiopathic Vestibular Disease. My vet gave her Amoxicillin and a supplement for her hips. He said he sincerely believed that she would recover. We are into day 6 and she is doing well other than she won't get up. Last night she did stand for a few minutes before falling down again. Should I be concerned at this point or do I continue to let her heal on her own. I am just afraid that after being down for so long that her muscles will atrophy. My daughter who is a zoologist said to give her Dramamine for the dizziness, the vet says no. Any advice would be great.

You poor thing! I've been through it twice with my 15yr old dog.
They also said to keep her in a low lighted area preferably in a corner with lots of bedding or a crate. It makes them feel secure with everything spinning. It took Kimber 2 full weeks before she was fully mobile again, however she was never the same. Dr Woody also prescribed lots of love and affection cos it's scary for them. :-)
She is now 15 years old. Her head still tilts to the side and walks at a slant :-)
I hope this helps :-)

My dog (a peekapoo) is 10 yrs. A month ago, he started with a cloudy eye, then a couple wks later it got red and noticed side of head sunk in. Took him to vet, she diagnosed him w/ulcer of the eyeball.Gave Optimmune bid, neomycin & polymyxin B Sulfates & Gramicidin, 1 drop bid & dogs own serum 2 drops tid. Then a week later, I noticed head dropped down and head tilt. Two days later, he was staggering and falling, difficult to stand. Went back to vet, she said the eye problem was separate from this staggering situation. Gave pills for dizziness. Two days later, dog is no better. Oh, about 3 wks ago, he started sneezing real bad. No tests done, vet diagnosed as vd, do you agree. I am concerned about the sunken head; is it a symptom of vd or something more serious? Please send me an answer soon. Thank you so much.

Hi Lo~
I would be concerned with the signs you are describing as well, and the next step would be to consult a neurologist, if one is available in your area. This way, you can at least get better options for what is available to you and decide how to move forward. Unfortunately, it is difficult for me to offer more advice without examining your pet, but you are right in feeling there may be something more. I hope this helps.

Babe (Baby Ticka) is on her tenth day now. It was so bad on the onset that she couldn't walk, eat, drink. We went to a different vet in another small town near by because we no longer trusted the local vet. The new vet diagnosed it right away and prescribed 10, 20 mg prednisone pills. Babe is a Chessie and weighs 94 pounds, she is a big girl. Later that day she began eating a small amount of peanut butter bread and animal crackers and would also drink but she had to be hand fed and the water dish brought to her. By the end of the second day she was able to sit up. We have been by her 24 hours a day. The most difficult part was that we couldn't carry her outside to tinkle so we devised a system where my husband would pick her front up and I would act like a bench for her, propping the front up while massaging her belly, naturally with about 100 towels to absorb the tinkle. One of the scarry parts was her trying to walk so we had to be right by her to grab her to make sure she didn't hit her head. On the third day we used a fleece vest of Paul's (men's large)to put on her with the zipper on her back. The chest size (42) was perfect for her chest and the waist was large enough to be able to gather the vest in the back to use as a handle to stabilize her and enable her to go outside to do her business. On the fourth day she was able to walk on her own; however, she is still a little unstable in the morning and evening. Well,on the third day we then switched to chicken and then chicken with a small amount of her food and now she is on a regular diet and can go outside to tinkle and do her bombs but she is still somewhat unstable but compared to ten days ago she is 100 times better. It is exhausting for her so I still spend all night sleeping by her and taking her out as soon as she needs to go and doing hundreds of loads of towels and throws. She is my little princess and she is getting better. It would be nicer if there wasn't so much snow outside and if it were warmer. So, Babe isn't totally back to her old self i.e. taking a slipper, glove or taking my towel from the bathroom and demanding that we chase her for them, but, she is on the last day of her pills which make her very thirsty and causes her to go out every hour. I am praying, as I have been from the start, that by the end of next week she will be back to normal, normal for a Chessie anyway. Don't give up, it may take longer than five days, wait on her hand and paw and give her kisses on her face.

When I was stationed in England, USAF, 1960-61. BBC was funded in part by a tax imposed on each radio/tv set in each household. And the british government had some sort of motorized monitoring device to catch anyone who was not paying the tax. The device somehow could pick up radio reception signals, narrowed down to a particular residence, and I had seen them driving up and down village streets, monitoring for taxes.!

I think it still is #1. Everybody with a TV pays a license fee (or is supposed to). Sort of like our tax money going to fund left-wing propaganda from PBS.

K & Company never disappoints. Their quality is excellent and the designs of this paper prove their quality control works. The negative on positive reindeer design is done quite well. I would recommend K&C to any scrapbooker or paper crafter because of the quality of the paper's weight, colors & designs. Their artists are excellent designers.
Great to use the full page or the reindeer as an embellishment.

Let's face it, Apple's senior vice president of industrial design Jony Ive can make anything sound fancy, but the sleek body of the iPhone 5 with its diamond-cut edge is fit for Fashion Week. By taking out a layer of the display and building the touch sensors right into the display pixels, Apple was able to make the iPhone 5 display 30% thinner -- and that's just one thing that contributed to its 7.6-millimeter-thin body.
HTC one X is the most stylish
The Titan 2′s design is uninspired, no Lumia 900? :'(
hey, a sony xperia deserves to be on this list
Where's the Lumia 900?
One X and S are both sexy, but GS III and IPhone are "meh." The Blackberry is…a blackberry…and the other HTC's are pretty standard nowadays. Droid Razr and Samsung Galaxy Nexus are good picks.
No Lumia 800 or 900 or Nokia N9 in this comparison. They are uber-stylish.
I love that the one X is on here, I love the design and I'm glad that I chose it, perfect!
Lumia 800 or 900??
where is HTC ONE V???
Shame that such a nice phone, was wasted on Windows mobile
HTC one x ….. Says it all.. chose it above the …s3
Simply HTC ONE X has no match.So sexy like Chtistins Zeta Johns.
and for long time hard to be beaten
Wow, the HTC ones are great, but I'd have put HTC One V somewhere here although I never saw one personally to compare. I didn't knew Titan II was also that pretty!
HTC ONE X only..superb n d most stylish fone..no 2nd thought..no doubt
htc One x
I like HTC one x………..It's so stylish n …….
HTC one X is so cute……. First of all put the phone and then….. Can you tell, for the any other one…..???
htc one x and one s is the most stylish
We all know HTC great but let's not forget the one who started it HTC EVO 4g its very styling to. For its time though
Where is Lumia? Is this just HTC chart with some random other phones for cover?
How about you try that again.
This time add the Lumia 920, Lumia 820, the HTC 8X and HTC 8S. THEN ask the same question!!!
The HTC One X is simply the prettiest. I own one myself and with a quad core Tegra processor it is really fast too
iPhone 5, hello? C'mon people. That's an easy #1
Shame shame. I thought here would be some good looking phones but no. Where the hell is beautyful phones ?? Where is sony xperia s ???
I think Sony Xperia Arc S deserves an entry to this list. I've been using it for a while and I'm finding it hard to switch to any other phone. This phone defined "style" for all the other phones, which they lacked at the beginning.
The review is all dammed wrong.
The best design for any smartphone now and for all to come, is nothing but the SONY XPERIA Z. Beautifully crafted from premium materials, synthetic ceramic and asahi dragontrail glass all throughout. No cheap aluminum and tempered glass of the apple iphone cheap class in here. And sony xperia z is the only smartphone so far that is beatifully engineered and yet water and dust proof in an ultra thin gorgeous design.
Blackberry Z10 design is good but not within xperia z class yet. But I must admit bb10 OS is the best. Android would come in at far second, then the rest would be occupied by some decrepit OS until you arrive at the lousiest apple phone os as last.
So to recapitulate. Sony xperia z is the best. A far cry second would be blackberry z10. And then the rest is just the rest.
Agree with Dangpet one hundred percent.
wherd is lumia 822?
The HTC First has a 4.3″ screen not a 5″ one. smh
hTC First is most Beautiful Mobile ever i Seen
OMG pls dont ever Tell Samsung is a Stylish Smartphone its Really awkward Boring Same old Design,,, many mobiles are there lik hTC One Sv , Sony Xperia s,,, this is bogus this Site should not Mentioned Samsung as among the Most Stylish Smartphones
Where's the Nokia N9 (white)
Seriously guys?! Samsung?! Samsung phones are not stylish at all, with the possible exceptioon of the first Samsung Star which isn't a smartphone. And where are the LG phones? The Prada, the Optimus 4XHD, the Optimus G and one of the L series? Also, let's not forget about Sony phones: the Xperia S, the Xperia Z, the Xprria Z1, the xperia Z Ultra. Even the Oppo Find 5 looks gorgeous,even if it's not that popular. THESE are among the most beautiful smartphones ever dsigned. Please consider making this list again, and if you do, make it proper.
1.Gresso Radical R1
2.Sony Experia Z
3.Iphone 5
4.HTC One
5.Samsung Galaxy Note 3

Seminole Heights residents hoping for a break from thunderstorms aren't going to get it – at least not in the early part of the week.
According to the National Weather Service, there's a 70 percent chance of storms today, some of which are likely to be rather heavy. A tropical wave sitting over Florida is to blame for the high chance of storms.
While not all areas will see especially heavy storms, the weather service does warn the wave could produce "strong, gusty winds, locally heavy rainfall and deadly cloud-to-ground lightning."
At this point, the weather service is expecting the worst of today's thunderstorms to move through the area in the afternoon and early evening hours.
Today's high will be in the upper 80s with a low in the 70s.
The outlook starts to improve tomorrow and into the latter half of the week when rain chances drop into the 20-to-30-percent range. Expect highs in the upper 80s to low 90s throughout most of the week.
For a complete look at weather in Seminole Heights, visit the National Weather Service online.

Awful: A 4-Year-Old Boy Gets Herpes After Putting A Used Condom In His Mouth From A Hotel Room!
Description: "ATLANTA -- A 4-year-old child may now have a sexually transmitted disease because of a used condom he found in an Atlanta hotel room. Carmen Jones said she is hurting inside not knowing what sexually transmitted diseases her grandson may now have. "The doctors at Scottish Rite said, if it was some sort of herpes it would last seven to 10 days, and sure enough about 10 days he started getting better, but then the blisters reappeared," said Jones. Jones said she, her grandson and other family members stayed at the Wyndham Garden Hotel in downtown Atlanta on July 31." - Atlanta News. Submitted by HipHopNews24-7.com

Call (720) 848-1900 or submit an online form
At University of Colorado Hospital, our doctors are specially trained in diagnosing and treating injuries that are common to athletes of all ages and skill levels.
We also offer sports medicine services specifically for active women - we're one of the few hospitals in the country to do so.
In the U.S. around 200,000 anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears occur every year.
If you suddenly and sharply twist your knee, you can sprain or tear the ACL. The injury causes pain and swelling. An unrepaired ACL can allow the shin bone to shift forward, an often painful "popping out" sensation.
A badly torn ACL requires surgery to repair the damage. If the injury is less severe, doctors can treat it with rest, medication and exercise.
Your ACL injury may require surgery. Regaining the strength in the affected knee requires both patience and a commitment to recovery. Full recovery may take up to one year. You can expect to participate in formal therapy once or twice a week during the recovery period. However, you will also be given exercises to do on your own. It is important that you do the exercises regularly.
You may experience setbacks during rehabilitation, such as:
If you experience these setbacks, be sure let your doctor know!
It is important to seek a second opinion if you are not comfortable with the recommended treatment for your ACL injury.
American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine
Physical History and Examination. Your doctor will ask what caused your injury. A sudden twist to the knee that causes a pop in the joint and swelling is a good indication of an ACL injury. A physical examination of the knee joint may reveal a "soft end point" that is a sign that solid ligament is missing.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging. A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) test shows three-dimensional pictures of the ligaments and other tissues in the knee. The MRI confirms an ACL injury.
If the ACL is stretched or slightly torn, you may be able to heal it without surgery.
Nonsurgical Treatment. Nonsurgical treatment requires:
Your doctor may also ask you to wear a brace to keep the joint from moving while it heals.
Surgical Treatment. A severe tear of the ACL requires surgery. An ACL injury can usually be repaired using arthroscopic surgery, which creates less scarring than open knee surgery.
This arthrosopic approach requires relatively small incisions, through which your doctor inserts instruments to see inside the knee joint and locate the tear. The repair of the joint is made with small tools inserted through the incisions.
The doctors and staff at University of Colorado Hospital work together to diagnose, treat and rehabilitate your bone, joint and muscle injuries.
Research at University of Colorado Hospital focuses on improving treatment and improving outcomes of ACL injuries.
University of Colorado Hospital is part of the Multicenter Orthopedic Outcomes Network (MOON). The network collects data on ACL injuries. The goal of the MOON research is to identify risk factors that may affect the outcomes of ACL surgery and recovery.

When trying to determine what you need to preserve, act reasonably. As a general rule, as Zubulake IV said, a party need not preserve "every shred of paper, every e-mail or electronic document, and every backup tape."
The common denominators of trade secret theft and corporate espionage
It is imperative that U.S. companies understand how the theft of intellectual property assets routinely occurs and have knowledge of the laws, resources and processes that are available to protect and defend against the theft.
The America Invents Act: Big changes not just for patent lawyers
The AIA has brought many significant changes to patent law. In-house counsel must be aware of these and should ensure that their patent strategies and procedures take full advantage of the new law.
The value of data to the rate review process
To enhance performance monitoring and truly push for greater value, law departments should leverage consistent data, which can be particularly impactful during rate review.

If you've got friends and family coming over for the Fourth of July, chances are you're going to be grilling some hamburgers.
The Red, White and Bleu Burger, the creation of Ben Berman and Jack Barber, owners of the Mainely Burgers food truck, is topped with pickled red onions, bleu cheese and thick-cut bacon.

CHANCES ARE you won't be going out for a burger on July 4. But when the cook-outs are over and the calendar moves on, there are plenty of unique and delicious burgers to choose from on menus around town:
BACK BAY GRILL: Chef Larry Matthews' Back Bay Burger has become so popular with his customers he has to bring it back every few months. Made with 8 ounces of naturally raised beef, it's served on a brioche bun and topped with shredded romaine dressed in Stilton and creamy garlic dressing.
CAIOLA'S: Chef Abby Harmon sells about 200 of her Caiola's Burgers every week. It's made with 85/10 ground beef from Caldwell Farms, topped with Sunset Acres bacon and Cabot cheddar cheese and served on bread from Southside Bakery. For a Southern flair, Harmon might add pimiento cheese and a bacon jam.
PETITE JACQUELINE: This bistro's "French Attitude Burger" is topped with gruyere, caramelized onions and house aioli. It's called "French Attitude" because you have to eat it the way it's served to you, with no substitutions.
PO' BOYS & PICKLES: Need a good alternative to a factory-farmed fast-food burger? Try this sandwich shop's Cheeseburger Po' Boy. The toppings are simple and traditional -- tomato, mayo, mustard, ketchup, onions -- but in taste and freshness, it beats a Big Mac.
TWENTY MILK STREET: The restaurant's Piedmontese Burger is made from Piedmontese beef, known for its high protein content and for being lower in fat and cholesterol than turkey. It's served with crispy fried onions, shredded iceberg lettuce, tomato and a side of the restaurant's secret sauce. Add an egg for $1 more.
NOSH KITCHEN BAR: It sells for $20, but Nosh's Apocolypse Now Burger lives up to its name. The generous burger is topped with American cheese, crispy pork belly, bacon, foie gras, mayo and cherry jam, and it's served on a brioche bun.
EAST ENDER: The Surf & Turf Burger served here is topped with Maine lobster, brie cheese, lettuce, and chive mayo.
DiMILLO'S: The restaurant's Fiery Calamari Burger is topped with cornmeal-dusted calamari, srirachi aioli, lettuce, tomato, quick-pickled onion and pepper jack cheese. It's served on a butter-grilled challah roll.
Servings: Six
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
6 sesame seed sandwich rolls, split, toasted
1 cup watercress or mixed spring greens
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 tablespoon Caribbean jerk seasoning
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
1/4 cup low-fat plain yogurt
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
2 teaspoons grated lime peel
1/4 teaspoon salt
Combine ground beef and seasoning ingredients in large bowl, mixing lightly but thoroughly. Shape into six 1/2-inch thick patties.
Place patties on grill over medium ash-covered coals. Grill, covered, 8 to 10 minutes (over medium heat on preheated gas grill, 7 to 9 minutes) until instant-read thermometer inserted horizontally into center registers 160 degrees, turning occasionally.
Meanwhile, combine sauce ingredients in small bowl; set aside.
Spread sauce on cut sides of rolls. Place one burger on bottom half of each roll. Top evenly with watercress. Close sandwiches.

Ben Berman and Jack Barber will be serving burgers from their food truck, Mainely Burgers, on the Eastern Prom on July 4. Featured on the menu that day will be their Red, White and Bleu Burger, which is topped with pickled red onions, bleu cheese, and thick-cut bacon. If you'd like to try this at home here's the burger boys' recipe for the pickled red onions:
For a pint jar:
3 red onions, thinly sliced in rings
2 garlic cloves, minced
11/2 tablespoons fresh chopped dill
1 tablespoon brown mustard seeds
1 tablespoon black peppercorns
2 teaspoons of kosher salt
1/2 cup of vinegar
Combine ingredients and fill rest of way with water. Shake well and make sure ingredients are dispersed. Refrigerate and let sit for 24 hours.
"This is biggest week of the year for hamburger patty sales, right before the Fourth," says Dee Dee Caldwell of Caldwell Farms, an organic beef producer in Turner. "Not everybody can afford to buy ribeye for 10 people, but they generally can buy hamburger patties."
The last thing you want to do is serve your guests a dried-out, tasteless burger off the grill. To help your July 4th celebration go off without a hitch, I asked some experts for advice on how to grill the perfect burger. Who better to learn from than some beef producers, a pub chef, the owners of a burger-centric food truck, and a butcher?
Here, in addition to Caldwell, are the folks who offered some great tips for making unforgettable Fourth of July burgers:
• Gabe Clark, owner of Cold Spring Ranch, a grass-fed beef operation in New Portland.
• Ryan Campbell, executive chef at Bull Feeney's in Portland.
• Jarrod Spangler, butcher at the Rosemont Market on Brighton Avenue.
• Dave Zino, executive chef at the National Cattlemen's Beef Association.
• Ben Berman and Jack Barber, owners of the Mainely Burgers food truck, who estimate they've sold about 10,000 burgers.
Most people like a juicy burger, and that starts with buying a quality meat with the right fat content.
The burgers you buy at Mainely Burgers have an 80/20 meat-to-fat ratio. If you want "decadent burgers," Zino of the cattlemen's group says, that's the blend to choose.
If you'd rather go leaner -- say, 93 percent lean -- add a quarter cup bread crumbs and an egg white to the mixture, and that will help you form the patty, Zino added.
If you choose grass-fed beef, Gabe Clark says, you'll get great flavor, but you'll also have to be more careful cooking it because grass-fed beef tends to cook very quickly.
"Our grass-fed beef is not as lean as others," he said, "but grass-fed beef can be very lean, and every lean beef will cook much quicker because all those juices are in part a byproduct of the fat. So the leaner the burger, the more you have to be careful of overcooking."
Spangler recommends finding ground beef in the 70/30 to 75/25 range. Anything leaner "tends to get a little too dry for my taste." At Rosemont, he sells a "burger blend" made of two parts brisket and one part de-boned short ribs that falls into that range.
"The fat transports the flavors," Spangler said, "and if you get a little more fat in it, you're going to get more of that flavor out of your burger."
Season the beef with a little coarse salt and freshly cracked black pepper, and anything else you might want to throw in -- some chopped garlic, paprika or even cayenne if you'd like a little more spice.
Almost all of our experts said to be careful not to overmix the ground beef when you're mixing in seasonings and forming patties if you don't want it to have the texture of a hockey puck.
"All that really does is make your burger tougher," said Ryan Campell. "Season the burger properly, but don't season too soon because a lot of times, when you put the salt in it cooks the meat a little bit -- another thing that makes it tougher."
Burgers should be seasoned no more than an hour before cooking.
"Make the burgers uniform so it's easy to finish them at the same time, rather than guess and burn half of them," Campbell said.

Former Cardinals QB Warner 'impressed' with Ryan Lindley
The latest quarterback to audition is Ryan Lindley, a sixth-round pick in the 2012 draft who received his first NFL start against the Rams last Sunday.
Lindley, who completed 31-of-52 passes for 312 yards with four interceptions, had his struggles.
But according to Warner, who was a guest of Arizona Sports 620's Doug and Wolf Wednesday, he also had some very positive moments.
"I saw a lot of good things," Warner said. "I felt like, especially early in the game, things were really good."
Warner, who is an analyst for the NFL Network, said it appeared things "got away from" Lindley as the game wore on, and the pair of pick-sixes the QB threw certainly didn't help.
listen Listen: Kurt Warner, NFL Network Analyst
Former Cardinals quarterback and current NFL Network analyst Kurt Warner joins the guys to talk football. What does Warner think of the 49ers naming Colin Kaepernick their starting QB? Would Alex Smith be a good fit with the Cardinals? Find answers to these questions and more with Doug and Wolf.
"But I was impressed; I thought he made some really good throws," Warner added. "Some tough reads or went to places where you might not expect a rookie to go and deliver the football well."
Warner said Lindley did make some of the classic rookie mistakes, but overall he was "really impressed" with the way the 23-year-old played.
